Point of No Return

I forgot how much I liked this episode. It was a clever story, and there were some truly funny moments. Plus, it’s always fun to see the team in civilian clothes and hear them talk about doughnuts. 

Martin Lloyd made his first appearance. It’s hard for me to separate him from the character on Sex and the City. However, he was very convincing as both an alien and a delusional conspiracy theorist. “… and the CIA sanctioned microwave harassment...”

Teal’c, or should I say Murray, had some great moments. He seemed almost blissful on that vibrating bed. I thought it was funny that Martin tried to bite him and he was reading a story about a headless alien in a topless bar. I also loved Teal’c’s deadpan line, “This weapon appears to be ineffective.”

Bonus point for, “That’s a duck, isn’t it?”

My Rating: 8/10

Legacy

The thing that always bothered me about this episode was how quick the doctors were to throw Daniel into a padded room. He was perfectly normal one day. Then he went crazy a couple of days later. I’d imagine that level of schizophrenia doesn’t happen overnight. Why wouldn’t they think it was the result of some alien doohickey? 

Daniel was a pretty convincing crazy person. It was kind of creepy to see him like that. Sam’s reaction when the team visited Daniel almost brought a tear to my eye. Someone better give that woman a hug. 

Here’s another silly question: Why did Ma’chello make those little bug things if he knew they would make normal people crazy? That’s a pretty serious side effect he probably would have considered.

Bonus point for Dr. Fraiser’s freak out.
